Upsteam, in the mountains, the water may be flowing over rocks. In the valleys, the depth of earth and softer material is greater, so enabling the river to erode a deeper channel.

Why does channel depth increase as you go downstream?

Channel depth typically increases as you move downstream due to the accumulation of water volume and sediment load from upstream sources. As the flow progresses, the river or stream gains more energy, allowing it to erode deeper into the channel and carry a greater volume of water. Additionally, downstream channels tend to widen, which can also contribute to increased depth.


What is a control section in open channel flow?

in open channel flow Control sections occur at entrances and exits to channels and at changes in channel slopes, under certain conditions. A gate in a channel can be a control for both the upstream and downstream reaches. In a the flow passes through critical at the entrance to a channel, and the depth can be computed there for a given discharge. The channel is steep; therefore, computations proceed downstream.

Does a groove decrease the drums diameter by twice the depth of the groove?

Yes, a groove will decrease the effective diameter of the drum, but not by twice the depth of the groove. Instead, the reduction in diameter is equal to the depth of the groove, which is subtracted from the original diameter. Therefore, the overall decrease in diameter is exactly equal to the depth of the groove, not doubled.
